The traditions you come back to. The dishes you look forward to all year. The people who make it feel like Thanksgiving.

Why Should I Consider Catering Thanksgiving Dinner?
The biggest reason to cater Thanksgiving dinner is simple: time.
Cooking a Thanksgiving meal can require days of shopping and preparation followed by hours in the kitchen. Catering allows you to decide how much of that work you want to take on.
For some hosts, that means ordering the entire meal. For others, it means cooking the turkey but leaving the sides and desserts to someone else. If there are dishes you love making every year, keep those traditions. Let us help with the rest.
At 12th Street Catering, our goal is to help set the table for your holiday so you can spend less time managing the meal and more time with the people around it.
Thanksgiving catering can be especially helpful if you’re hosting a larger group, entertaining guests from out of town or balancing holiday preparations with a busy schedule.
Can I Order an Entire Thanksgiving Dinner from 12th Street Catering?
Yes. For Thanksgiving Day 2026, 12th Street Catering offers a Thanksgiving Day Package for 10–12 guests for $900.
The package includes a fully cooked roasted turkey, house-made gravy, cranberry orange relish, creamy Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, traditional savory herb stuffing, mac & cheese, homemade cornbread and pumpkin pie.
The Thanksgiving Day Package is delivered hot, fully cooked and ready to serve, making it the best option for hosts who want us to take care of the meal from turkey to dessert.
This package is available exclusively on Thursday, November 26, with delivery windows between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Delivery windows are limited and reserved based on availability.
What If I Want to Cook Part of My Thanksgiving Dinner Myself?
Thanksgiving catering can be as much or as little help as you want it to be.
If there are dishes you look forward to making every year, make them. Then let us take a few others off your list.
Our à la carte Thanksgiving menu offers starters, entrées, sides and desserts for hosts who want to build their own meal. Options include salads, butternut squash bisque, shrimp cocktail, turkey, maple-glazed spiral ham, whole salmon, traditional Thanksgiving sides, breads and a selection of pies and seasonal desserts. Most selections are designed to serve 10–12 guests.
You might prepare your family’s traditional turkey recipe but order mashed potatoes, stuffing and green bean casserole from us. Or cook the savory dishes yourself and let 12th Street handle dessert.
For hosts who want to cook their own turkey with the rest of the menu planned, our Family Meal Package is $450 and serves 10–12 guests. It includes a raw, brined whole turkey that requires cooking, along with prepared accompaniments. Review the menu for the full package contents and preparation details.
Family Meal and à la carte selections are not available for Thanksgiving Day delivery.
Can I Order Just Thanksgiving Sides?
Yes. Our 2026 Thanksgiving menu includes both à la carte sides and a Sides Package.
À la carte sides are $80 each and serve 10–12 guests. Choices include mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, mac & cheese, whipped sweet potatoes, pan-seared Brussels sprouts and roasted winter vegetables.
The $280 Sides Package serves 10–12 guests and includes four classic Thanksgiving sides.
These options let you keep your favorite turkey recipe at the center of the meal while handing off some of the preparation. For Thanksgiving week, sides are available for Wednesday delivery and require reheating.
Will My Thanksgiving Order Arrive Ready to Serve?

Can I Cater a Friendsgiving or Office Thanksgiving?
Yes. Thanksgiving catering isn’t limited to Thanksgiving Day.
Our seasonal Thanksgiving offerings are available for Friendsgiving celebrations, office Thanksgiving lunches, corporate gatherings and family celebrations throughout November and December, excluding Thanksgiving Day.
For businesses, the Corporate Buffet Package is $35 per person with a 10-person minimum. It includes sliced turkey breast, gravy and cranberry orange relish, Yukon Gold potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, mac & cheese, roasted carrots, cornbread and fall salad.
It’s a simple way to thank your team and bring everyone around the table for a seasonal meal, without coordinating a potluck.
For Friendsgiving, choose a Family Meal Package or build your own spread from the à la carte menu. Whether you’re sharing familiar favorites or starting a new tradition, we can help make gathering easier.
When Should I Order Thanksgiving Catering?
For Thanksgiving week, place your order by Wednesday, November 18 at 2 p.m.
Thanksgiving Day delivery availability is especially limited. Ordering early gives you the best opportunity to secure an available delivery window that works for your gathering.
If you’re planning an office lunch, Friendsgiving or another celebration outside Thanksgiving week, contact our team to confirm availability and ordering requirements for your date.
How Do I Choose the Right Thanksgiving Catering Option?
Start with one question: How much do I want to cook?
If you want a fully prepared meal on Thanksgiving Day, choose the Thanksgiving Day Package, delivered hot and ready to serve.
If you want to prepare your own turkey, order sides, starters or desserts and keep your favorite family recipes on the menu.
If you’re hosting before Thanksgiving and want to cook the turkey yourself, consider the Family Meal Package. Its raw, brined turkey requires cooking, and prepared accompaniments require reheating.
If you’re planning a celebration at work, the Corporate Buffet Package makes ordering for a group straightforward.
There isn’t one right way to host Thanksgiving. Choose the option that lets you enjoy the parts of the holiday you love and hand off the parts you don’t.

For more than 40 years, 12th Street Catering has helped Philadelphia gather for celebrations big and small. This Thanksgiving, let us help with the meal so you can make more time for the traditions you share and the people around your table.
From sides that complement your family recipes to a fully prepared Thanksgiving Day feast, choose the amount of help that makes hosting feel easier.
Thanksgiving week orders close Wednesday, November 18 at 2 p.m. Thanksgiving Day delivery windows are limited.
